surrounded by several other islands,

peninsula, is very near. These are

two volcanoes or burning mountains
as they are called there, can be seen
in the distance.
"The soil is rich and deep, produce

soil by the decaying processes of fail

from year to year. There is no stock
to eat the grass which grows in rank

five feet. 1t is the redtop bunch

They charge cattle owners with put

kills the sheep, while the sheep men
retallate by shooting cattle and hors-

AN Electric CoMPoslroR.-Some-
what moro than year ago A. S.
Carpenter, proof reader on the Min
neapolis Tribune, and s. G.. Goodson
conceived the idea that electricity
might be employed to do the work of
type setting, and finally submitted
their plans to G. l.. Redfeld, me-
chanical engineer. He made some
valuable suggestions and completed
the drawings. The three at once set
to work on having the models con
struoted. These worked we'll, and
recently a machine was completed.
1t did the work perfectly well, and
at the astonishing rate of 300 impress
sions a minute, or 5000 GEMS" an
hour against the 100 "ems," which
the average compositor can now set.
The success of the machine was such
that number of local capitalists were
at once interested in it, and the
Electro Matrix company was moor
porated, with 100000 capital.

AN OLD SENSATION REyAMPED.

The Report That Bell Obtained Ills Tele-
phone Patent by Collision is Put Into
Circulation at Boston.
BOsTON. Mass, Jan. 20-Speculators
and scientific men are excited over the
news from Washington about the changes
alleged to have been made in Bells origi-
nal application for the lephone patent.
The charge thai underground 1nforma-
ton about Gr=y'S Caveat led to these
changes, in February, 1876, has led
TO g careful examination Of the certified
copy OF the application, now or file here
in the office of the circuit court
As result, some that have seen or heard
OF the copy, ia the light of the Washing
ton news, are not selling Bell Telephone
stock long. II is clear, from the hand
writing, that at one time the original
application had neither blot nor erasure.
At some later time-the question is,
when ?-sopebOdy went over The lengthy
document and made ABOUT twenty
erasures and interlineatiOns. The general
sense was not altered, but substitutiOns
seem TO nave been made witG the idea of
exact 1etnition. Every word substituted
is written in pencil ms tead OF ink.
The anti Bell lawyers place muChimpOr
lance on these changes, and say that their
opponents Overreached themselves in the
attempt TO give an impression of honesty
by having even the ensures and substi-
tutlons of the application appear in the
copy brought on here for evidence in the
big suit. On the other hand, the Bell
men say it is q big bluff, and that the
changes were made when it was perfectly
legal and honest.

INTER STATE COMMERCE.

Both houses of congress having passed
the interstate commerce bill, that meas
uIe is now law. Nobody (unless an ex
Ception is filed in regard to ex. Gov. Ire
land) ever questioned the right and au-
| thority of congress to legislate on the
subject. Even the strongest advocates
of states rights were agreed that the
control and regulation of r ilways came
within the purview of congressional &C.
tiou. The bill has been passed, and there
! will be no question, remembering recent
decisions of the supreme court, as 70 it,
constitutionality. Whether it Will accom-
| plish all that is claimed for it is another
question, and time and experience will be
required to determine the question. The
intent of the bill is good, no matter how
| it may work, and if it does not prove q
practical success the people must bear
in mind that it was given to
them purely SIS an experimental
measure, framed to remedy evils that
were complained of on ali hands.
1t ought to have fair and impartial trial
and stand or fall on its merits. And,
finally, the fact that both houses of con-
gress, in the face of great pressure
agsinst the measure, adopted and sane
toned it, should be refutatlon of the
theory. so often put forward, that the
American congress is under the thumb OF
the corporations and capital. 1t was said
that all the forces of capital and monop-
oily were arrayed against this bill; that the
most powerful lobby ever organized ct
Washington worked day and night for its
defeat But in spite of all this congress
passed the bill and the fact stands out as
a monumental rebuke to the pessimists
who have been proclaiming for years

PLEURO.PNEUMONIA.

State of Affairs Existing.

ihe Illinois Commi si0ners Show a Bad
State of Affairs Existing.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL, Jan. 2l.-A special
report has been fled with the governor
by the Illinois live stock commissioners,
calling attention to the alarming extent
of Contagious pleurO-pUeuGonia prevail
ing among cattle in the city of Chicago.
Inc magnitude Of the interests Involved,
the attendant danger and the history Of
the outbreak are eXhaustive.y reviewed,
with the conclusion that necessity
exists for g careful examination Of
cows that are owned in Chicago
and the towns of HYDE PARK, Lake, Gre
70, Jefferson and La6eview that in any
way hsve been expos Led to infection. The
board deems the slaughter Of all such to
be absolutely necessary to insure safety in
the future. The commissioners say they
can scarcely expect the removal Of quar-
antine restrictions already thrown around
the movement of cattle from this state
unless it is done, nor will they consider
the cattle industry of the state safe until
then. They state tina. 1t is impossible
to say how many COWS must be killed to
secure this result, but they believe 1t Will
be at least 1000. With the premises dis
infected and quarantined for sufficient
time to render them safe wherever dis
eased cows have been found, the commits
sioners believe further losses from the
present infection can be averted, but they
suggest that more effectual laws should
be enacted to prevent future outbreak.

THE NEED OF HASTE.

THE GAZETTE understands that legisla-
tive action cannot be taken without due
consideration, but it would impress upon
the members the need Of sill possible
haste in the matter OF aid to the drouth
sufferers. The need of the people is i'm
mediate and Of q character that, without
immediate relief, must be perpetusted TO
some extent through another year. These
people are not beggars, but citizens sui
.ering from q public calamity who ask
some measure Of relief that will
enable them not only to live now,
but to prepare for existence in the future,
Bread is needed now by many, but seed
to plant, in order that future want may
be provided against by their own exer-
tions, is also needed. The seed must
soon be put into the ground, or those who
fail to SOW viii have naught to reap when
the harvest time comes. There is
need for promptness in this matter,
and while THE GAZETTE would not
indulge foolish urging to undue haste, it
would direct the attention Of the legisls-
ture ard of all who can aid these people
to the urgent necessity for prompt action.

ATTEMPTED TRAIN ROBBERY.


Five Masked Men Try to Step Texas and
Pacific Train.
Special to the Gazette.
WILLS POINT, TEX, Jan. 2l.-By the
merest accident the 4 O'Clock passenger
train was saved from ROBBERY. Last
night about 80 o'clock james Ashton,
re urning from dance, noticed a group
of five men near the railroad where an
old tank had been filed up. Thinking it
was some companions, he went toward
them. When in a short distance one of
them gave signal and all became quiet
Ashton, still IN inspecting, went nearer,
when one Of them stepped toward him
with something in his hand that clicked
like q six shooter. This brought Ashton
TO his sense, AMI noticing that they were
all masked he unCermUniUusly skedad-
died aud informed the night
operator, who immediately wired thu
train dispatcher, aud all order not to stop
at the Wills Point tank even if sigualed,
was sent TO the conductor, who informed
the passengers and & general stampede Of
ysluables to variOns hiding places re-
suited. The train reaches the tank, which
is about mile from town in thick woods,
about o'clock. When in sight Of the
tank the engineer discovered q man on
the track waving signal, but seeing no
obstruction he put Cn steam and rushed
past. The train men and passengers saw
thu other fur men standing on the tank
dam The operator thinks the men came
on the II O'Clock train last night. Several
parties noticed them prowling about
town. No accurate description Of them
can be obtained.

TIE GOTkRNOR,S MESSAGE


Gov. Ross first message is given to the
public this morning. II does not suffer
IN the least by comparison with similar
papers Of his predecessors. 1t is an elab-
Grafton of the thoughts presented in his
inaugural address, eni deals with ques-
tons that must engage the attention of
the lawmakers for the good of the state
The inadequate and false renditions of
values to assessors by property owners
that is so general throughout the state
is pointed out, and a remedy suggested
oy allowing assessors and boards Of
equalization TO tx values for tsXation.
Recommendations are made that laws be
enacted to prohibit the removal Of per-
sODal property from the state to es-
cape taXstion-a thrust at the al
legged practices of cattlemen who
drive their stock into the Indian
Territory during the assessors
rounds; also, that provision be made to
collect taxes in case OF insolvency, where
the estate was solvent at the time of rem
dering property for taxation; and that a
constitutional amendment be adopted, if
necessary, to enable the state to make a
better title to lands sold at tax sales.
While it is admitted that it would lie
desirable TO confne convicts in prison
walls, the governor does not think that
practicable at present. The penitentiary
should be made self-supporting. A re-
formatory prison would relieve the peni-
tentisry of 400 inmates, and should be
established. The experiment of working
convicts on public roads the governor
thinks is worth trial.
Public lands should be classified, and
those not needed for agriculture at pres
ent, leased unconditionally for short
terms.
TIE need OF quarantine Law to pro-
tect our stock interests against the intro
ductlon of contagious diseases is pointed
out and It's enactment urged. An agri-
cultural bureau is suggested in q way 10
show the governors concurrence with
that ides
The propriety is suggested OF a copsti-
tutional amendment to increase thsefi-
cheney of the state courts, that justice
may be more speedily administered; alse,.
of an amendment to prohibit the manu-.
facture and sale of Intoxicating liquors.
The attachment law is condemned as
offering room for fraud, and its amend
ment asked for.
Railway pooling is strongly condemned,
and the enactment of laws asked for to
prohibit it, making the violation of those
laws felony.
